Through My Eyes: Tim Tebow

What are his winner credentials?

Even if you never watch football, you have probably heard the name, "Tebow." He was the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, a coveted award for the most outstanding college football player in the United States. And just Thursday night, his 20 yard charge into the end zone marked the longest-ever game-winning run for a quarterback in the final minute of 4th quarter in NFL history (as tweeted by @ESPNStatsInfo). His winner credentials will keep on coming for the forseeable future, but they extend beyond his football skills into being a man of faith. For more on who he is, you may want to read Through My Eyes ...

Amazon says...

Over the course of the last five years, Tim Tebow established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of college football and a top prospect in the NFL. During that time he amassed an unparalleled resume—winning two BCS national championships, becoming the first sophomore in NCAA history to win the Heisman trophy, and in the face of massive public scrutiny, being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos.

Now, in Through My Eyes, Tebow brings readers everywhere an inspirational memoir about life as he chose to live it, revealing how his faith and family values, combined with his relentless will to succeed, have molded him into the person that he is today. As the son of Christian missionaries, Tebow has a unique story to tell—from the circumstances of his birth, to his home-schooled roots, to his record-setting collegiate football career with the Florida Gators and everything else that took place in between.

Winner's Book Club Selection of the Week: This is Herman Cain!

What are his winner credentials?

Herman Cain was the chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza and brought it out of bankruptcy to being a successful chain. He was the host of an Atlanta-area talk radio show called The Herman Cain Show, and is famous for using down to earth language and logic to evalutate political problems. He never saw himself a victim of racism, even though he grew up in the Jim Crow South, or let others' ideas of who he is define him. Whether you agree with him or not, you may enjoy reading about his life and his motivations for running for president of the United States.

Excerpts from Reader Reviews

Until recently the conventional wisdom has been that businesspeople do not make good elected officials, perhaps because the temperaments between the two professions are so different. However, the professional politicians have made such an awful mess of our state, local, and federal governments that we are now turning to the tough-minded discipline of business leaders to restore fiscal responsibility.

In 2010 we elected many businesspersons as governors, congresspersons, and senators. They seem to be succeeding in reforming state governments to operate within their budgets. Now Herman Cain is running for President as a businessperson pledging to restore our national economy. >>read more>>
